I had fallen into a light sleel
from sheer misery and exhaustion

Her face was as radiant as al

beside me and kissed me as though
she had not seen me for ten years
"Oh, what do you think" she
cried. "Who do yon suppose is II

I made shrewd guess.
"Gerald Dayton" said.
"Yes!" exclaimed Fannie, 'Trude

"Ah, you little traitor!" laughed
Gerald Dayton.
In the meantime my wife had
gone to the closet, brought out my
winter overcoat, and produced from
one of its pockets yellow, crum

then, and Gerald said:
Nov you must atone for your
shameful neglect, sir, by giving me
your sister in-law as my vile. And,
as exchange is no robbery, will

ON Board tie Australia.

An entertainment was in vogue on
board the Australia during her last vOy-
age that at once proved novel and inter-
esting. 1t was announced to the cabin
passengers that Major Henderson,, the
famous drummer boy of the Rappahan
mock, would in conjunction with his son
Cleveland, give an exhibition, which of
course attracted a 'full BENCH" and
which exhibition was duly appreciated.
Mr.. Lawless, the First Officer, intro
duced the Major in a few well-timed re-
marks, and the drummer boy at once
proceeded to business. His two drums,
one of which was presented to him by
Horace Greeley and the other by the
Woman's Relief Corps OF Maine, rang
out in the stiffness of the night under
the Majors vigorous and artistic manip-
ulation, and whether it was the famous
call that General Grant so loved to hear,
Marching Through Georgia, " the antics
of railroad laundering through forest
and vale, or the rattle of musketry and
boom of cannon, bringing to mind those
stirring scenes when our country's soil
was deluged with blood, and the nation
thrilled with the triumph of "our boys in
blue" the effect was equally inspiriting,
and on the whole martial exhibit mat
ter of congratulation for the entertainer.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
Major by the officers and passengers,
Major Henderson, responding to the APP
preciative endorsement of the company.
While in Honolulu Major Henderson,
will appear before his comrades of the
belong Post, G. A. r., and there is no
doubt that he will have an appreciative
audience whenever he appears before
the Honolulu public

A Novel Feminine Freak.

A late feminine freak has the merit Of
being strictly novel and deliciOusly alb
surd. There is a young English minia-
ture painter in this city who has gained a
great reputation among fashionable
women, not for making their charming
faces immortal upon ivory; not for send
ing them down as precious heirlooms of
loneliness to admiring great grandchil-
dren, who will believe firmly in the rose
bloom of their pictured skins and wonder
at their quaint cOiffures and picturesque
gowns. He reprOduces them piecemeaL
In his study are Ovals of ivory upon
which is q mass of crinkled auburn hair
for example, or a Cupid's bow of mouth
of smooth scarlet loneliness, or satiny,
crumpled pink ear, and best and most
beautiful of all, eyes Of hue, shape and ex-
preston. These are not combined, but
are separate pictures. A woman who has
some exquisite feature goes to him and
has it preserved for her lover or her hus-
band. Eyes are the favorites, however,
and among those of well-knoWn women
he has in his collection is that of Nine.
Barrios, the widow of the late president OF
Guatemala. They do not have the pair
painted even, but just the one melting eye
with the fringes surrounding it and the
arch above. Nine. Barrios' eye is large,
almond-shaped and of velvety blackness,
with thick fringe of 1ashes and brow
as clear and fine as if drawn with a PEN

to an Islander, and sore threats, with a
touch of "chills," have warned us that
we must not go out without over
coats or wraps. San Franciscans have
not yet finished apologizing for the snow
fall that astonished them last January,
and though they insist upon it that it is
the first on record, yet ones faith in the
stability of California's glorious climate
has been rudely shaken.

that the whole $50, 900 or 100000 which

Major Henderson,, the famous drum
mer of the Rappahannock, arrived by
the Australia. His son, John Cleveland
Henderson,, who plays the fife, accom-
panied him. On Saturday evening he
will give a performance in the Hawaiian
Opera House, assisted by local talent.
The box plan opens on Thursday morn
ing at o'clock at the Office of J. E..
Brown & Co. The Major has a wide
reputation as performer on the drum,
and will no doubt attract large
audience. He has two drums with him,
one silver one, presented to him by
Horace Greeley, the otherfrom the ladies
of the State of Maine. Another per-
Torrance will be given Monday evening
next.
At the Emma Square concert last
evening the Major gave an exhibition of
his playing between the first and second
parts He was introduced to the au-
dience by Mr. R. W. Lame. The Majors
son played the fife, and their playing
was an immense success. He certainly
is master of the drum.

The KaumnknptIi Chimes.

The chime of bells recently placed in

evening for the first time. Four of the
smaller bells are not yet properly hung,

they will in the course of a few weeks.
when the work will be entirely COM
pleted. With only nine bells at the
players command, he is only able to
play selections that range within. an oc-
tave. For instance, the music of Hawaii
Ponoi extends one note over an octave
This note has to be played an octave
lower, consequently it creates an i'm
preston that something IS wrong. Some
tunes that range within an octave have
an accidental note which cannot be
played. In course of time the trustees
may see their way clear to add one or
two bells, and then these difficulties
would be surmounted. A large crowd
was present in the vicinity of the church
last evening, a chime of bells being a
novelty here

He Saw His Dead Brother.

A few days ago a German visited the
"Battle of Sedan" Not that he is the only
German who has ever visited this great
picture, but this is peculiar case. While
on the platform he asked the lecturer
where the Eleventh Prussian army corps
was, and on its being pointed out to him
replied that he had brother member
of that division, who was killed at Sedan.
The lecturer, for the sake of a joke, said:
"Yes, know it. Yonder is his dead body
now, lying at this end of the line" The
supplemented Dutchman imagined that
he could see his brother, and, bursting
into tears, left the platform, muttering:
"Mein armer bruderI mein armer bruderP

A HOLIDAY.

Is the age sordid, impotent and cold?
None the less sweetly shriu the thr ushes
call;
None the less swiftly snowy blossoms
fall
On slim young grasses and buds mani
fold
Where kingcups raise their chalices of
gold
As tender breezes drift the hawthorn's
pail;
None the less milky sway the chestnuts
tall,
Or royalty are large white clouds en-
rolled,
Where up. the azure mighty branches
climb.
On eyes that see and hearts that contem-
plate
No shadow falls of days degenerate
They reckon but by seasons change the
time;
Here the vain babblings of uD1ovely
Cringe into silence before holier powers.
